Been noticing an odd thing with my '09 1.4 TSI (122) recently - if I don't give it enough beans when I pull away from traffic lights and the revs drop a bit (but not close to the point of stalling), occasionally (think mainly when the engine is cold), the radio (RCD210) will die for a second or two (ie. sound will fade, and backlight will go off if it is on). Think I've seen the instrument lighting doing the same thing on occasion too. Looks to me like the voltage to the radio and/or IP is dropping with the revs, which of course shouldn't be happening (unless someone has sneakily replaced my alternator with a dynamo!). Anybody come across this before?
